Translation - EnglishAlzheimer’s disease, AD, attacks the brain’s cells in such a way that they are unable to communicate with each other. The brain’s cognitive ability decreases. The cause of the disease is unknown, but methods for earlier diagnosis of the disease are still being developed. Alzheimer’s has been and still is seen as a geriatric disease, but even younger people (45-50 yrs) can be found to have the disease. The disease is expected to increase rapidly and will place medical care under a great deal of pressure over the next ten years. It is estimated that 50% of all 85 yr olds will develop Alzheimer’s.

Swedish to English: A fantastic third quarterDetailed field: Business/Commerce (general)

Translation - EnglishOnce again we are presenting a fantastic quarter. Never before have we had a better third quarter than this one and overall it is also our second best result ever. What delights me even more is that all the work we have done to increase sales is now being rewarded. Sales were up by an amazing 13.5%, excluding xx, which in all of our countries is better than the overall markets.

Translation - EnglishA living archipelago is important for both Sweden and Finland. The archipelago between the two countries consists of a huge number of islands, islets and rocks. Not everyone thinks about this, as the islands are not marked out on the maps found in a standard school atlas. But if you look at a detailed map, it almost looks as if you could reach the other side by hopping from island to island. This is of course not possible. But there are tens of thousands of islands. Several hundred of them have a population that lives there all year round. A great deal more have summer houses and harbours.

Swedish soldiers were ordered to cut the heads off captured Snapphane soldiers and impale their heads on poles set up along the roads, as a warning to others. Despite these terrible punishments, the Snapphane Movement’s actions continued and increased rather than abated.

Blood thirsty forest-dwellers or justified patriots? Which were they really, these mythical guerrilla warriors and Snapphane of the borderlands?

Ever since the Viking Age, Skåne, Halland and Blekinge had been under Danish rule. But after peace negotiations in Roskilde in 1658, Denmark was to hand these areas over to Sweden. The people continued to live according to their old privileges, but the provinces were to become Swedish fast. Resistance groups started to grow and the risk of revolts and attacks increased in the old borderlands.

Under the Danish-Swedish wars of the 17th century, the title Snapphane became a way for the Swedes to show that they did not see the Skåne resistance groups as ‘real soldiers’, rather as thieves, troublemakers and simple peasants. A common interpretation of the name comes from the German word ‘schnappen’, which means to snatch away, to steal.

After having worked as a Swedish to English translator and British copywriter for the past 13 years, specialising in marketing and advertising copy, all of a sudden I found myself translating journalism and literature.

Don't get me wrong, I've always loved refining marketing copy, coming up with the perfect word, sentence or paragraph. I still do. But a whole new fascinating world has just opened up before my eyes.

Journalistic and literary translations are my new favourite things.

World exclusive news articles for international circulation, extraordinarily trendsetting rawfood recipes, captivatingly dramatic sci-fi fiction and wonderfully charming children's stories. These are just a few of the projects that have simply fallen into my lap this year.

My website and Facebook page still reflect my copywriting and marketing passions. Quite rightly. Most of my working week is spent translating and perfecting websites, brochures and adverts. But I will be adding more information about my latest favourite projects soon, as well as reference material and links.
